A very short story about a guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I’ve literally just registered to write this.
Phenomenal! Short and to the point, and at the same time incredibly detailed and immersive.
I’m a fan of these kind of scenarios - and it’s been a while since I’ve read a quality short story from micro tiny’s pov.
I’ve immediately read your other two stories and loved them. Your stories flow well and descriptions are spot on. I’d love to read more of your work. Hope you post again.

Author's Response:
Thanks! Glad to know somebody's actually reading these, there'll hopefully be more in the future.
A guy finds himself up close and personal with a world that just doesn't seem to notice him, other than to remind him how much it hates him.
This is great. There’s something about that dynamic - when unaware on one end is mixed with fruitless fight on the other - that is captivating when done well.
This story is one such example. A bit too gory for my tastes but drives the point across.
Would love to see more.
A woman whose moral compass needs some checking finds a shrunken man in her bathroom. Violence ensues.
A very quick story with a bad ending.
Surprised to see no reviews for this one! I will have to be the first then.
This here is probably my favorite kind of story: it's short and to the point, it features a guy shrunken to micro scale, and it throws him into a casual situation with a disinterested and uncaring girl. It is astonishing to me that this specific set of boxes are so rarely checked in size stories!
Wonderfully written as usual. I love how effectively you stress the casual and indifferent attitude of the girl, to whom this life-changing for little guy (literally) encounter is merely a minor nuisance to be forgotten in a minute.
I know you already have a few stories similar to this one - which I also enjoyed very much - and hope you'll create more!
p.s. to anyone looking for something very similar in format, I recommend reading "Drafty" by Reaperface on this site.
Thank you for a kind review and the reading suggestion. And sorry for getting back to you so late.
What seemed like a simple pick-up task turns into a quest for survival for an ambitious young scientist.
This story does not end well.

Great read, really enjoyed it!
Awesome descriptions and amount of details here, really took me along for the ride.
I was sure that Nathan was also shrunken and lost / stepped on somewhere - his disappearance appeared too sudden and convenient, given the discovery of shrinking device in his room. The fact that this didn't materialize felt like a bit of a missed opportunity to me :)
You put great work out, can't wait to read more!
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you've enjoyed this story.
Come to think of it, I probably should've done something more with the other guy. I comitted a "what happened to the mouse" trope by not doing so. Oh well, I'll keep that in mind next time. Thank you for the suggestion.
A man wakes up with no memory under a woman's bed. It ends bad for him.
A quick and short story I wrote only because I was feeling like getting back into writing.
Great to see you writing again!
Love your work, hope to see more short stories from you soon!
Thank you, much appreciated. : )
